gibran Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Hello everyone. I have used uTorrent for as long as I have downloaded torrents (around 2 or 3 years) and now I have moved to Linux (namely Ubuntu). When I try to unhide the window it won't respond. I see the torrents are downloading, so it is just a display issue. I searched the forums and saw someone had the same problem, I removed the settings stored in the .wine directory (actually all of it, since I only use wine to run uTorrent...Azureus sucks!), and I entered all the info the torrents, etc, but when I restart it happens again. I have done this 3 times already and the problem repeats itself. Help, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 What wine version are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibran Posted April 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 The latest, I updated it two days ago.UPDATE: When I close the client, if I try to open it again I see the computer processing but the client won't load at all, or at least doesn't show on the system tray. When I restart it loads, but it still won't display the main window. It's quite frustrating, as this is the only thing I need to get working to be completely happy with Linux, and I don't want to go with kTorrent or Azureus unless I absolutely must. Thanks again.Hello again...Can Anyone give me any hints? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 The tray icon stuff has been known to be flaky under Wine. I never experienced those issues, but if you're experiencing them, then there isn't much you can do... other than to disable the tray icon stuff :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibran Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Thanks, I reinstalled and did that, so far it's not quite acting up... I'll stick around with it for a while and hope it doesn't start again *crosses fingers*EDIT: If it makes any difference, I just realized this happens after the system shuts down improperly. I thought it might have had something to do with it, but I just confirmed... Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inaneframe Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I was having this problem too. The problem of utorrent not "showing" after opening in the system tray while using WINE. The solution is rather simple:1.) close and kill the process2.) go to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/*USERNAME*/Application Data/uTorrent/ and delete settings.dat and settings.dat.old (for good measure, I'm sure it makes no difference unless you have OCD like me d: )3.) restart the application and turn off the tray icon settingHave fun!!

jewelisheaven Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 You can also run uTorrent from the current path it is running from with "/BRINGTOFRONT" appended to the command-line. This will un-hide un-minimize or un-bosskey the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
